A living room must be cozy, welcoming, warm, it has to be the perfect spot for our leisure time. The best way to transform the atmosphere of this room is with colors! You surely know that colors can affect our mood, our well-being, our sensations and feelings. Using earth tints that remind you of the nature, warm colors that will embrace you in an energetic hug, will enhance the style of your living room and put you in a better mood. Brown, dark orange, deep green and intense yellow will be the best choices of color, to restore your spirit and fully enjoy time at home with your beloved ones.

Raw materials and natural appeal

Warm colors are so effective because they instinctively remind us of nature. That is why wood and raw materials are the easiest way to include these tints in our home décor. This rule is true for every area of the house, but it will work particularly well in the living room. Objects and designs that show the most natural look of wood have both a reassuring and empowering effect on us, and skilled craftsman and designers have the ability to increase this feeling when creating their best works. Dialma Brown is a brand that mainly works with earth colors and natural look materials, and this cabinet is one of their finest pieces: minimalist, modern, and exalting the beauty of raw wood at best.

Is green a warm color?

You may think of green as a cold color, but certain tones and shades can make this tint work perfectly in a warm color scheme. The choice of material plays a great role in the perception of the colors too: alike wood, almost all the natural materials bring the same feeling of warmth and energy. Stones and marbles, when they come in warm deep tints, are able to give you the same instinctive feeling of a dark brown color. This little round table is designed by International Marmi, and it is a wonderful example of how the color green can fit beautifully in a warm color scheme environment: picture it next to the wooden cabinet we have seen before, and try to imagine the empowering feeling of these two design object combined.

But what about the floors?

With such intense tints all over the interior design, it would be better to choose a neutral color for your flooring: both tiles and wood can would look fantastic in a delicate beige or a very pale brown. That said, we know you can’t resist and put a touch of color even on the floors. A carpet can be a wonderful accessory for a living room, especially if you have a very large area.
